To receive hand-outs from others ... that's SHAMEFUL!

in that case, you have too much ego.
when you are basically living without food and shelther, you won't care about ego anymore because that's basic survival needs.  Without life and a beating heart, where do you get the heart and mind to feel ashamed???

you think it's shameful because you never had the need for it.  right now sitting at home warm and cozy in front of a computer with internet connection and the free time to browse internet, of course you can say it's shameful.  you can even say you rather starve to death than receiving hand-outs from others.  but the truth is, when you are really starving to death, you won't care about shame or no shame.

i've been stuck home myself for around 3 months completely jobless.  it's one of the worst feelings in life, feeling absolutely useless.  I even attempted to find sales job that pays $8 an hour and they won't consider me because i have way too much experience and education... in other words, overqualified.

in december i went for an interview for a seasonal admin position at a factory and it pays like $10 an hour.  I went there early and the person who had interview before me (i know this because the door was wide open and i was just sitting outside) is a lady in her mid-40s who is a real estate agent and lives at a higher end area.  Even people who used to make tons and lives in a well off area needs to resort to finding a SEASONAL job that pays $10 AN HOUR... that's how bad the economy is.

Too much experience and education but no job?

Go wash dishes in Chinatown.

guess i'm talking to someone without job search experience and does not know why experience and and education can hinder your job search when you are searching for a low paid entry level job.....

just like bus drivers, many people look down on them but gosh they are so well-paid~ plus the city will be a chaos without bus drivers.  every job is important in the society

and on a side note,
canuckboy is really just a BOY... GROW UP~
maybe you should read the other thread about self confidence and humbleness. quite sad if all ever you do is bash other people while everyone's trying to discuss~~
